lr. The insertion of these resolutions ft due principally to the exertional Senator Vilas and ex-Speaker Crafts of Illinois, who framed them jointly. They are expected to greatlv strengthen the ticket in Viscon-in anri Illinois and perhaps other parts of the Northwest, where these questions hare come to te burning issues. One resolution offered by Governor Flower was voted down. It related to outrages and lynching, and was condemnatory in its nature. The wording of it was not satisfactory, and in the brief time betöre the committee it could not be so framed as to be generali satisfactory. The southern men prote.ted against it as possible implication, casting noma reflection on their state governments, and it was decided to leave it out of the platform. T' IColl ('Ail Tirgon. The Chairman The next order of business, gentlemen, h the call of the roll of trie states for the nomination of candidates for the otlice of president of the Cnit'd states. The clerk will proceed with the call of the roll. The clerk commenced to call the roll nit imt M8 far aa Alabama, when be was interrupted. Mr. Fentnn of Arkansas attempted to move an adjournment, but no attention was paid to him. ABBSTT NAMES CLEVELAND.

Elaquaat 9peeh by th Jsrsoytnan for the Ex-Prs'dnt. Arkansas yielded her place to New Jersey and Governor Abbett of that state came forward to the platform, accompanied by enthusiastic cheers from the Cleveland win? of the convention, it being understood that Mr. Abbett was to nominate ex-President Cleveland. When quiet was restored, the governor addressed the body as follows: Mr. Chairman and Gzntlemfx of the Convention la presenting a name to th a convention, I speak for the united democrror of the täte of New Jerey, whose loya.ty to democratic principles, ftithful services to the party, and whoic conlril nt on to us tuccesi entitle it to the repectful consideration of the deiuocrikcy of tt-e union. Its sectoral Tote has always been cut in support of democratic principlti and democratic candidates. (Qi In voioios the unanimous wisn of the delegation from New Jtrej I present as their candidate for the surJratfs of this convention, the name of a distinguished democrats statesman, bern upon iu soil, for whom, in two great presidential contest, the state of New Jersey has given its entire electoral vote. TL supreme consideration in the mind of the democracy of New Jersey is the success of the de quo ratio pnrty and its principle?. We have been in the past and will Lie in the futnre ready at all times to sacrifice personal preference m deference to the clear expressions of the will of the democracy of the union. It is because that this name will awaken throughout our state the enthusiasm of the democracy and insure success; it is in-cmae he represents the great democratic principles and policy upon which this entird rouvect'on is a unit; it is beeaose we believe that with him as a candi late the democracy of t.'ie union will sweep the country and es:LI;h its principles throughout the length and breadth of the land that we oäer to the couventiou as the coruinte the choice of the detiK-oracy of New Jersey Grover Cleveland. Applause."! If any doubt existed in the minds of the democrats of New Jersey of his ability to lead the great democratic hosts to victory, they would not present h.s name today; wit a them the success of the party and the establishment of its principles are beyoud their love aud admiration tor any man. We fesl oeruin that every democratic state, though iu preferences may be for soma other distinguished democrat, will give its warm, enthusiastic and earnest support to the nominee of this convection. The man whom we present wiil rally to hs party thousands of independent voters whose choice is determined by their personsl conviction that the candidate will retirement principles dear to them, and whose public and private life gives ansurance that if chosen by the peop'e they will secure an honest and pare and conservative administration and the great interacts of the country ei'l be encouraged and protected. 'i he time will come when other distinguished jeaocrats who have been mentioned in connection with this nomination will receive that sonsideration to which the great services they Save rendered their party en;itle them, but we itand today in the presence of the fact that the aaejority of tne democratic manses throughout sou n try, the rank and tie. the millions ot its roters. demand the nomination of (irover Cleveland. lhi sentiment is so strong aud verpowerinar that i; has ejected and con.roiled the actions ot delegates who would therwise present the name of some jistincuiahed leader of their own state with shorn they teel victory won d be assured aud n whom the entire eour iry would feel cenidenoe. But the people have fpoketi and 'avorite sons and leaders are standing a-ude iu ibedience to their wih. Shall vr l.nxtn to the roice of the democracy of the Union? Mi all me plac on our banner th man of their tho er, the man in whom they believe, or shall we, for any consideration of policy cr expediency hesitate to obey their will? I have sublime faith in the expression of the people when it is clear and deoisive. When the question before them is one that has excited discussion and debate; when it appeals to the-r interest and their feclirgs and calls for the exercise of their judgi.ient and they then ay "we want this man and we can elest him," we, their representatives, must not disobey nor disappoint them. It is incumbent upon us to obey their wishes and concur in the r judgment. Then, having given tbrm the candidate ef their cho.ee they will give us their best, their most eoergi-tic etlorts t secure ueces. We conhdentiy rely upon the loyal and successful work of the democratic leaders who have advocated other candidates. We know that in the great stair across the river troia New Jersey, now controlled by the democratic party, them it no democrat who will thiric the duty of making every erFort tu secure the success of the candidate of this c jVent on, notwithstanding h.s j.dgtuent may di;'er from that of the majority. The democracv of New York and its great leaders whose etlorts sod splendid generalship have given to us a democratic senator and governor will always be true to the great party I they represent; they will not water, nor will they rest in the coming canvass. They hare achieved suecess. Their grand victories of the past, their natural and houorsbie ambition, their unquestioned democracy w l: make them ariae snd figvht as never before, aud with those that they represent and lead they will marshal the great independent vote, and we will strain secure for os the democratic victory in New York. Tne grand democrats under whose leadership the city aud state of New York are bow got erned will give to the cause the great weight of their organizations. The tbandering echoes of this convention, announcing the nomination of Grover Cleveland, will not have died out over the hills and through tke valleys ef this land before you wi.l tear and see all our leader rallying to the support of oar candidate. They will begin their etlorta for organization and success and continue their work until victory crowns their efiorta. All democrat w;ll fight for victory and they will succeed, because the principles ef the party enunciated here are for the best Interest of the country at large and became the people of this land have unquestioned faith that O rover Cleveland wiil give the country pare, honest and stable government and aa administration of which the treat huiineti interests of the country and the agricultural and laboring interests of the masses will reCC've proper and doe consideration. The question has been asked why it is that the leasees of the party demand the nomination f Grover Cleveland? W by is it that this man who has no o.os to distribute, vo wealth to command, should have secured the spontaneous support of the great body of democracy? Why is it that witn all that has been urged gainst him the people tili cry "Grover Cleveland?" Why is it that, although be baa pronooneed, io boaest, clear and able language hi views upon question upon which some of his party nay di.;er with him, that he is still Bear and dear to the masses? It U because he ha crystallized 1b to e living 1st ae the great principle opon which this tattle la to be fought oat at the coming election. If he did not create tariff reform be made it a f residential issue; he vitalized and presented t to our party aa the issue for which we could fight and eunf.aue to battle uotd opon it victory ie aow assured. There are few men io hii position who wou'd have courage to boldly make the issue and present it clearly and forcibly aa he did io his great message ef 1?37. I believe that hie policy then was to force a naUenal iiiat which wculd appeal

to the judgment of the people. We must honor a man who is honest enough aud bold enough under such circumstances to proclaim that the defeat of the party upon principle is better than evasion or shirtiug of true national issues for temporary sucoei. When victory is obta.ned upon a principle, it forms the solid foundation of parly success in the future. It is no longer the question of a battle to be won on the mistakes of our foes, but it is a victory to be accomplish by a charge aloof the whole line under the bauner ot prinoiple. There is another reason why the people demand hi nomination. They feel that the tariff reform views of President Cleve aiid and the principles laid down in his great message, whatever its temporary erfect may have been, gives us a living and a vital issue to light for, widen has made the great viotorie since 1SS8 pos.ble. It consolidated in one solid phalanx the democracy ot the nation. In every state of tt.ii Union, that policy has been placed in democratic plattorms and our battle have been fought upoo it end this great body of representative democrats have seen its good results. Every man in this convention recognizes this as th po.icy of the party. Iu Massaonu setts it gave it a Kussel; in Iowa it gave us a Boies; in Wisconsin it gave us Peck and Vilas; in Michigan it give us Winana for governor and gave us a democratic legislature and will give us eight eleotorial vote; 10 1S-J in Ohio it trave us James Campbell tor governor and in ISai to deieat biui it required the power, the weaitn and the machinery of the entire republican pr j; in Pennsylvania it gare us Robert E. Patterson; in Connecticut it gave us a democratic governor who wss kept out of olhos by the infaaioa conduct of the republican party; in New Hampshire it gave cs a legislature of which we were defrauded; in Illinois it gave ns a Falmsr for senator and in Nebraska it gave ot lloyd for governor; in the great southern states it has continued in power democratic fovernors and democratic legislatures; in New Jersey the democratic power Las been strengthened and the legislature and executive are now both democratic; in the great state of New York it gave us David B, Hi 1 for senator and EoMwell P. Flower for governor, Continued cheering. With all these glorious achievements it ia the wisest and beat party policy to nominate sgain the man whose policy made these suocesses possible. The people believe that these victories which gave us a democratic house of representatives in 1SÖ0 and democratic governor and senators io republican and doubtful states are due to the courage and wisdom of (irover Cleveland; and so believing they recognize him as their leader. In ;re-nting his name to the convention it is no reflection on auy of the master leaders of the party. The victories which have been obtained are not alone the heritage of those state; they belong to the whole party. I feel that every oVtuocratio state and that every individ aal drmomt bat reaion to rejoice and bo proud aud applaud these successes. The candidacy of f irover Cleveland is not a reflection upon other, it is not antagonistic to any great democratic leader. He comes before this convention not as the candidate of anyone slate. He is the choice of the great majority of democratic voter. The democracy of New Jersey therefore presents to this convention in thin, the people's year, the nominee of the people the plain, blunt, honest citiien, the idol of the democratic masses Grover Cleveland. Chers.j DEW1T r N AM KS HILL.

A Good Speech end Another Great Demontrsitn, The Hon. William C. Pewitt, from the New York delegation, etepped forward to make the Fpeei h putting in nomination Senator D vi l B. Hiil, and came forward upon the platform for that purpose. The chairman said : Gentlemen of the Convention I desire to present the Hon. William C, Dewitttof New York. At thid point the continued rain Etorm and confusion in the hall made it impossible for the speaker to be heard by more than a few in hia immediate vicinity. The chairman declared a recess for fifteen minutes. During the intermission the crowd amused itself watching the glare of lightning en! in listening to the swish of the rain. Everybody had yelled himself hoarse, and was content to wait in comparative silence the passing of the etorm. When the recess expired and after eorue confusion Mr. Dewitt of New York came down by th pecretary'a de?k in order to get away from the downpour of rain falling upon the desk oi the chairman, and after a few minutes, waiting for the etorm to quiet, he epoae &j follows: Mk. Pmipknt and Fellow Delegatfs By favor of my colleagues I have now the honor to speak the voice of the state of New York in the nut onal democratic council. Our majestic common weal tn needs no eulogy here. 1 he gite way of commerce, both Irorn the ocean and the lakes, vast arsenal of thought, by whose press tl.e inteilig-nce of the world is gaiheredand eotttered throughout the land; joined to the agricultural region by the fertile valley of the Mohawk, the Genesee, and opening up throuzh the triple city situated upon the bar those greater and higher atMuent relations with the other people of the globe, the fullest development of which will be the source of our best prosperity, the state of New York is none the lees paramount in our political than in our other affairs. lier great city is the life giving heart of the democratic p irty. Her electoral vote is the keystone of the federal arch, upon which alone we can rest the citadel of our hopes. She realizes in her present relations with the democratic t arty of ti e nation what was said of the Hornau ampitheater: Wr.ile stands the Coliseum I; in ha t ir1 When l.ii! the Coliseum Home nha I fail. An I vl.en Home fall the wor'd. In view of the important position occupied by our state in the i.npeud'iig e intest I take great pride while spenking for us regular organization of the party in pointmcr to our past triumphs. Jn 18-5 we carried New York by 11.150 majority; in by 17.077; in IMS by i:,171; t'7 -0.5'7 an i iu ism by 47.937; so the present organic tlion speaks not only for the stale indispensable to your success in the presidential campuign, but speaks for that state organised and arrayed upon the lines of victory. These are stubborn faols which hypocrisy cannot oonceal. N), too. attheoataet thit convention should f ul W understand the true nature of the democracy of the people of New York. It is fundanieutul and vital in character. We believe in the brotherhood ot man and in all the hearty doctriue of equality and fraternity which arise from that faith. We denounce the supreme law making power of state and cation used for the enrichment of the few at the expense of the tunny. In olden times the bandit armed his followers and descended with fire and sword upon the industrial ciasie. In modern times the same spirit of rapine erects a manufactory or corporation and through a ais in a tariff act, a dooation of the publie domain or the acquisition of chartered privileges ejects the same results. Of the 4,000 millionaire! in the country 1,700 are laid to bar amassed their fortunes throuh the tarid and an equal number through the corporations. Out of these causes all the features of an aristocracy hare arisen in our social life. Class distinction, profl.gacy and splendor, social dudes and political aseetios have ttken the plaoe of the plain, earnest people of former generations. The money power dominates the land and subordinates the voting sovereignty of the people. Patriotic statesmanship and oratory no longer enjoy the honor of the republic, and the apostles of truth, justice and liberty are supplanted by the pliant instruments of vait pecuniary sol political com hi nations. In such a crisis the democracy of New York wants a revival ef the fundamental principles of the party. A leader who holds that corporation, created by state or nation, are not amendable to the control of the creator, or who fads to sympathize with at least an in teroatioaal e;'ort to enlarge the currency of the world in the interest of productive industry, or who makes hia friends and counselors among the plutoorats of the land, laoka the qualities indnpensaol to a trfumphant standard bearer of oor unterrified constituency. Humanity is better than dogma and love of bs so is the life of the repub.ic. Oar people want a leader filled with icatincts ai weil at shrewdness ssgaeity. hope, fears, joys, and sorrows which crowd their strurgle for life and happiness. We therefore present foryonr uport the name of Ili.l. who, having enjoyed 11 the honor of oar state, still finds himself onr lead4r. "I am a democrat." However prominent mar be bis post of duty he does not descend to us from above, but in the roll call of the democracy he steps proudly from the rank. Do job ask for hia credentials' We voiat you to

the unbroken series of elections by which he hs rendered New York a veritable Gibraltar to the Union. When with alt the power and patronage of the federal government at hi command, the distinguished ex-president lost the state of New York by a majority of 14,000, Governor 1IU1 carried it by a majority of over 19,000 votes, and at every election during the past ten year he and hi friends have met with constantly iocreaing success. No sane man can reject the force of these statistic, and in pointing the finger of destiny it must outweigh all theory, prophesy, promisesand dreams. The experiences of the past must, under like circumstances, foreoast the events of the fuiure, and in this instance the conditions remain unchanged. Mr. Hill never had any aileiauce with maloontents nor auy favor with the republican party. The claof men from our state whoao violently oppose his nomination today have uniformly opposed him in the past. lie has always been nominated under a shower of their vituperation and abuse and he basalway emerged from the conflict with the increasing commendation of the people. Heginning publio life as an asoc ate of Samuel J. Tilden in the lesislature, he hits been mayor of the city of his home, he was elected lieutenant-governor by the largest vote ever Riven to the candidate of any party in the state of New York, he ha twice been elected its governor and now represents it in the senate of the United States. It is not essential thut I should embark io fulsome eulogy. His signally successful administration of the great trusts established bis capacity, but yon will pardon the liberty of a friend when I say that the fact that be is a poor man, fully and absolutely devoted to the service of bis party, is worth a thousand labored eulogies io demonstrating the pa-notiiu and integrity of his character. He is a cavalier rathir than a roundhead. In opposition to sumptuary laws, in persistent advocacy of the bid tjrantiog freedom of religious worship, in the increase of public holidays, labor day aud half holiday; in supporting outdoor sports and pastime, he has done more thau any public manof his time to foster end develop general liberty appropriate to modern civilization. For these servioes he encounter! the hostility of the buotand the hypoerite. He is a firm adherent to the principles of frugality and economy in public affairs, so long characteristic of bis party. During his administration as governor our state debt of $7,000,000 was reduced virtually to nothing, while the property and interests of the stats were adequately maintained and improved. These things speak in tones of thunder against the vilification of his enemies. For the beginning of his publio career he ha remained the faithful, efiioient, untiring friend and servant ot the laboring c auses, and they have reciprocated his devotion by a loyally and sup port vh;ch ha rendered him invincible. You will understand how a character tbua radical and active should stir up enmity and strife. It is said if we make another nomination we sha 1 have a calm eleotion. Our dear business interests wi l not be disturbed and the people will be qaite indiilerent about the result. If it, indeed, be (rue that politics hare sunk so low that uo man can serve his party earnestly without personal reproach; if national convention through regular organiiations have indeed become pernicious and disreputable, then the entire system of popular government is a failure. Nothing is more healthy than political aeritation aud nothincr is more dangerous than political stagnation. Men of kindred convictions and emotions naturally combice on oil great queu.ons of civil government, and where population is immens, there must be parties governed by appropriate organizations. It is because Mr. TTill awakens party feeünar that egitatee the contending forces to the very dregs, excites the vs ruth of the republican and the enthusiasm of the democrat, that he is a healthy and suoces'ul candidate. I'olitio nominntions, made to plucate republicans, to pander to men who esteem themselves letter than their party, or to suckle and support the heartless middlemen of the times, are distasteful to our people. We present Dav;d 11. Hill ns the cand.date of an untorrified and aggressive democracy. His experience teaches us that euch is the way to succeed. We love him for the enemies he has conquered. We Live never misled you in presenting a steriiug democrat to your favor. We gave you Ilorat o Seymour, and our people indorsed hiru aiainst lieu. Grant. We trave you .Samuel J. Tilden, and in turn oar state indorsed him. We acquiesced in, but did not advise, the nomination of 1SSS. The consequences are known. iNot for an instant would we ooumel or urge this convention to nominate David li. Hill were we not sure, from careful scrutiny and deliberation, fortified by the testa of our elections, that he ran carry the state, the vote of which iu tbe electoral ooliege, under the recent apportionment, is absolutely indeipecsable to a democrats victory. Another thought, Mr. President, higher and deeper than any mere m -titer of individual candidacy, must be expressed before my talk is completed. In this national household of tiie democratic party a oertain oomity between the (liferent states is due to the vereignty of each aud the fraternity of ail. i he delegates from New York were elected by the unanimous votes of a state convention duly called under the authority which has bei 1 undisputed svray since 1848, and wh'ch wes approved by the party at the last election l.y a majority of 4,000 in the state. Not a dissenting voice marred the harmonious action of this regularly constituted aud authoritative body. Our delegation is headed by the governor and lieutenant-governor, freshly chosen by unprecedtnted party majorities, and it is tilled by representatives from the various districts, many of whom ere well known to you all. An attack was made- upon us shortly after Mr. Hill's election to the sunste by a number of. gentlemen who were sent here to contest our seats and nullify our intlueuce, and thus a distinguished candidate whom heretofore we had assisted in becoming governor and president, was put upon a war looting toward the regular state organization of the party. The contesting delegation has beeu dismissed from your doors, and now you are asked not merely to defeat the choice of our state for the nomination, but in addition to force upon us a candidate from our homes hostile to our organization. ISuch is not the measure of courtesy and friendship whioli we of New York should think due under like circumstances to the representative of a sitter state. The consideration tor the right and sentiment of others, which is the source of all gentility, ia also mdespensable to the nobility of this body. Thert is no a loy of enmity or opposition in the fraternal ali'ection with which the delegation from New Yoric greets its brethren upon this 11 oor. No scaly gauntlets with joints of steel glove our hand. Our pulse will throb in unison with our brothers from any state whose chosen son shall be presented to the consideration of the convention. We alute the rising leader from Iowa, whose home victories shine upon our arms like sun bursts from out the parting clouds. We bow to the inevitable sage of Illinois or to the ragged foe to tbe tariff baron who stands by his side. We appreciate tbe capaeity which has organized victory against the overwhelming odds in Pennsylvania, vfe are at home with our friends from Indiana. We fully sympathize with the battle-stained and indomitable leader in Ohio. We have watohed with afiection the wonderful power and organization and victory which cueraoteriza the senator from Maryland; and our hearts burned once more with the immortal fires of the sunny land when be was presented, wksin the forms of hia incomparable genius, evoked from the humanity of his character and tbe elevation of his oratory and statesmanship, towera in the van guard of our thickening boats like a pillar of oloud by day aud of fire by night tbe senator from Kentucky. Whomsoever of theae may be selected, we shall join in the exultation and bear our part to tbe ottermoitln the ensuing contest. This is the spirit in which we meet our brethren and Ibis is the spirit in wbiob we expeet to be received. In no other way cao the harmony and dignity of tne states be maintained. In thus conceding the force and strength of the candidates of the various states you will not understand us as abating a tingle jot from onr on preference or gainsaying in the slightest degree our unclouded eonvietion that the fortunes of our party will rest most safely in tbe custody of our choien leader from our own state. Hill beat Harrison in New York in under conditions less encouraging than those whicn confront us today; and he can repeat the triumph with redoubled effect. This is the cooclasive point. Contemplate the ensuing controversy from whatever standpoint you may choose, 70U cannot escape the fart that onr state is tbe battleground of tbe campaign. Ours is the coign of vantage, tbe point of stratagem, the very spot of victory or defeat. We appreciate the responsibility of onr post tion aod wonld speak to you like man whose blood flews in their words. The common enemy is stroncly entrenched in the capital. You are the geueral of the armv of invasion in grand council assembled. We hail from Waterloo and we fearlessly proclaim that Hill is the Blucher who can drive the republican chieftain to 8'. Helena in November. J-eilnws seconds Hill. At the conclusion of Mr. Dewitt's speech the entire New York delegation arose and cheered the narao of Senator Hill Tha

. Jion. John IL allows of Nevr York cam

forward amid renewed cheers and addressed the convention. Ileeaid: The honor has been assigned me in the delegation of which 1 am a part of seconding, in behalf of , the democracy of New "iork. the nomination of David Bennett IlilL It has been my privilege, as many of the delegates assembled before me know, through many yesrs of the past, through service in which my hairs have grown gray in the cause of democracy, to stand in the pretence of the representatives of that party assembled in its nationsl councils- and voice the sentiment of tbe state of New York. 1 occupy precisely that position today. With one unbroken voice, reaching from the cataract ou our western coast to the oceau which wahes our eastern shores, ehe comes here demanding the nominat ou of Governor Hill for the presidency. 0 rs, I am one of those d-moorats who, like my brother aod colleague that has just left this platform, believe in relying upon democratic sentiment, democratic faith and democratic energy to win our victories. We welcome with gratitude and thankfulness accessions from every quarter. If those who have formerly acted with the republican party, now animated by the consciouuei and the reproaoh of wrongdoing iu the past, now enlightened as to the princ pies and purposes of our party, choose to ally their faith with our, our door and our hearts are open to receive them. Hut when thev come to us protesting that tbev must ie id and guide an l we must be the followers; when they come to us telling u that if we will give them a certain name they will ally thstnselves with us, and if we give them anyother they will range themselves in the opposition, 1 tell them that it is not by anch rewards as that they seek that their fellowship is wanted. Oovernor Hill's name means victory. What he has done in tbe state he would do for the anion. Make him president, give him four years in the white house, and there would not be enough left of the republican party to sweep up and carry to its grave. Long and continued laughter and applause. I do not wonder that they hate him. I do not wonder that through their pre, through the voice of their most prominent leader, they implore the democratic convention to nominate some other than Hiil. Some one In the prallery proposed three cheers for Cleveland, which were given. Continuing, Mr. Fellows said: Maligned, traduced, slandered, villified a few men have been, this man, to thoe who know him, stands before the country as he stands in the atJection of hi friends, a man without a shadow of a stain either upon bis personal or official career, the idol of the democracy of New York. New York corses here now asking the democracy of the nation to iotr jit in his keeping in one more national battle the interests, tne responsibilities, the sacred trusts which hitherto in her tta'.e he has takeu up and discharged so faithfully, as you once more leavn the democratio banner in onr hands and our keeping. Kn;llt epeika for Grover. AVhen Indiana was caded, the Hon. William V Knglish eloquently eeconded the nomination of Mr. Cleveland in a few words as a substitute for the? Hon. Icniel W. Voorheea, who had been taken ill. Chicago, June 23. 4 a. m. At 3:30 this morning, after a continuous eeesion of ten and one-half hours, Grover Cleveland was nominated as the democratic candidate for president, he having received 6I0J votes on the first ballot, or IS J more than the two third majority required to nominate. Tammany bad made every effort to force an adjournment, but the Cleveland phalanx stood solid throughout the long fight and never for one moment thought of leaving the ball till their favorite was tho choico of tbe convention for the victorious ticket of 1892. The Üht was a long one and a game one on all sides, and not till but four territories only remained to be called was it known that the nomination had been made. Kven then eo iew knew of tbe result that the roll-call continued without interruption to the end. Then was enacted euch a scene of enthusiasm as had never before been seen in a national convention of any party. The convention went wili and all the discomforts of the long aod exciting convention were forgotten in the wild acclaim for the nominee. Ab. eoon as the result was known there was a loud clamor from the various delegates which were seeking to change their votes Larry Neal of Ohio moved that the rules be suspended and the nomination be niado by acclamation. Governoa Flower took the floor to second the motion on behalf of New Y"ork, but could not make himself heard and yielded to Bourke Cochran, who said: "On behalf of the New Y'ork delegation 1 want to say that New Y'ork yields absolute submiasion." Senator Daniel of Virginia also eeconded the motion to make the nomination by acclamation and the motion carried with a wil 1 and wholly indescribable ehout. The crowd did not leave the galleries or the floor until after 3 :47 a. m., when amotion to adjourn till 2 p. m. carried. FiaST BALLOT.

STRONG ON THE TARIFF.

THE CONVENTION INSISTS ON A VIGOROUS DECLARATION Although the Committee Iteeommends an Equivocal Planta On This Point the' Convention Takes the Malter In Hand and Adopt m Declaration Calculated to Malta the Tariff the Leading Issue tn the Camvaliin. Convention Hall, Chicago, June 22. Greater in adversity than in victory was Henry Watiercon, the distinguished democratic leader who marched to the platform tbe indomitable exponent of the proudest principle of tarid' reform, and aaeailed the committee on resolutions eo euccenpfully that he carried the convention by storm and succeeded in defeating the majority report and adopting the minority report presented by the Hon. Lawrence T. Neal of Ohio. Tne latter unequivocally disputed the constitutional riht of congress to impose tariff duties in excess of the actual revenue necessities of the Bovernment. Tne mutation of politicawill never better be exemplified than in the ballot cast npon this momentous question. Arrayed side by side with Henry Watterson, and eolidly in favor of a plank tersely declaring against all protection to American industries were the 72 voteg of the Empire state and the 26 votes of Iowa In the short but decisive debate, WatterBon proved more than a match lor the great Wisconsin senator, for he answered all the latter's quotations of past democratic platforms by eimply asserting that it wag the duty of the democratic party to be always advancing, and that the tarid' declarations of eight years a.i?o were no longer sufficient to satisfy the masses, who were now clamoring against the tariff robbery. Once mere, too, Henry WaUtereon proved, despite all the quibbles of the recent Etate convention, he is still the uncrowned monarch of the Blue (irass etate. livery admirer of the great Kentucky leader and they numbered thousands on the floor and in the galleries joined in the applause which quickly followed the announcement that the solid vote of Kentucky lia I been cast in favor of sustaining Henry Wattereon iu hia tight against the committee on resolutions. It fell to the lot of Illinois, however, at the critical moment, to turn the tide which for a few minutes threatened destruction to the cause of the radical tariff reformers. Until Illinois was reached tho vote had been rather azainst the substitute of the gentleman from Ohio, but when that etate threw its solid forty-eight votes in favor of the amendment, it being known that Cleveland was the choice of the prairie state for the presidency, all doubts as to purport of the substitute were removed aud the call of the frucceedinjj etates developed an overwhelming sentiment in favor of a most radical declaration that the democratic party has ever made upon the question of tariff reform as follows : iich a question we now have in the federal system of protective taxation. Tariff reform bas been the leading political isue in this country sir.ee tue democrats commenced to battle for revision of taril taxation more than forty years ago. It must continue to be so until it shall be as firmly established as any fundamental principle can he that the federal government has no constitutional power to impose and collect tari'.l duties, except for revenue alooe; aud that even then the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the government when honestly and economically administered. A protective taritT ü a robbery of the great majority of the people for the benefit of the few; we believe it to he such, and we oucrhtto have the courage of our convictions. We should not delay the enunciation of iL The faot that its iiiMidio'is purpose under the forms of law is called taxation renders it none the less rot'bery ; and the claim that it is accomplished under the guise of law is as great a crime, and ageravates rather than lessens the enormity of the oL'ense. Itepublican protection is as hostile to our form of government as was the principle of taxation without representation, for which our fathers rebelled and fought and achieved independence. The longer ve hi el the cry of protection, it will be to consent to the degradation of the masses in the interest of the classes. We denounce the republican policy of protection as a fraud, taxing the labor of the great majority of the Amerionn people for tbe beuefct of the tew. W e declare it to be a fundamental principle of the democratic party that the federal government has no constitutional power to impose anl collect tariU'duties exeept for the purposes of revenue only , and we demand that the collection of such taxes shall be limited to the necessities of the government when honestly and economically administered. The contest over the eilver question was brief and decisive. Mr. Patterwon of Colorado presented a minority report declaring in favor of free 'coinage, but after a brief argument by him it was promptly defeated by an overwhelming vote. In ar general way the remainder of the platform was well received, although a slight evidence that civil service reform is not yet accepted aa good democratic religion by the rank and file of the party was furnished by the hisses which promptly greeted the reading of this resotion. The following is the platformas reported by themajority of the committee through Chairmau Jones: Section 1. The representatives of the democratic party of the United States, in national convention assembled, do reaffirm their allegiance to the principles of the party as formulated by Jefferson and exemplified by a long and illustrious line of his successors in democratic leadership from Madison to Cleveland; we believe the public welfare demands that these principles be applied to the conduct of the federal government through the accession to power of tbe party that advocates them ; and we solemnly declare that the need of a return to theae fundamental principles of a free popular government, based on home rule and individual liberty, was never more urgent than now, when the tendency to centralize all power at the federal capital has become a menace of the reserved rights of the 6tates that strikes at the very roots of our gov-, eminent under the constitution eis framed by the fathers of the republic. Sec. 2. We warn the people of our common country, jealoua for the preservtaion of their free' institutions, that the policy cf federal control of elections, to which tho republican party has committed itself, is fraught with the gravest dangers, scarcely lens momentous than would result from a revolution practically establishing monarchy on the ruins of the republic. It strikes at the North as well as the South, and injures the colored citizens even more than the white; it means a horde of deputy marshals at every polling place armed with federal power, returning boards appointed and controlled by a federal authority, the out raze, of the electional rights of the peop'e in the several states; the subjugation of the colored people to the control of the party in power, and the reviving of race antagonism, now.h3.ppny abated, of the utmost peril to the safety and happiness of all; a measure daliberately and justly described by a leading republican senator a's "the most infamous bill that ever crossed the threshold of the Benate." Such policy, if sanctioned by law, would mean the dominance ot a self-perpetuating oligarchy of office-hoMeru, and the party first entrusted with its machinery

could be dislodged from power only by an appeal to the reserved right of the people to resist oppression, wnich is inherent in all slf governing communities. Two years ago this revolutionary policy was emphatically condemned by the people at the polls; but in contempt of that verdict the republican party has deriantlv declared in its latest authoritative utterance that it success in the coining election wjll mean the ena.-tment of the force t id and tho usurpation of despotic control over elections in all the states. Believing that the preservation of republican government in the United States is dependent on the defeat of the policy of legalized force and fraud, we invite the support cf a 1 citizens who desire to pee the constitution maintained in its integrity, with the laws pureuant thereto which have given our country a hundred years of unexampled properity ; and we pledgrt the democratic partv, if it be entrusted with power, not only to the defeat of the force bill, but a!o to relentless opposition to the republican policy of profligate expenditure, winch, in the short ppace of two years, has squandered an enormous surplus and emptied an overflowing treasury, after piling now burdens of taxation upon the already overtaxed labor of the country. Sec 3. AVe reiterate the oft-repeated doctrines of the democratic party that the necessity of the government is' the only justification for taxation, and whenever a taxis unnecessary it is unjustifiable; that when cu?tom house taxation is levied upon articles of any kind produced in this country the difference between cost of labor here and labor abroad, where euch a difference exists, fully measures any possible benefit to labor, and the enormous additional impositions of the existing tariff fall with crushing force upon our farmers and workingmen and for the mere advantage of the faw whom it enriches, exacting from labor a grossly unjust share of the expenses of thegovernment ; and we demand such revision of the tariff laws as will remove their iniquitous inequalities, lighten their oppressions and put them on a constitutional and equitable basis. But in making a reduction in taxes, it is not intended to injure any domestic industries, but rather to "promote their healthy growth. From the foundation of this government taxes collected at the custom house have been the chief source of federal revenue. Such they must continue to be. Moreover, many industries have come to rely upon legislation for successful continuance, so that any change of law must be at ever step regardful of the labor and capital thus involved. The process of reform must be subjected in the execution to this plain dictate of justice. We denounce the McKinley tariff law, enacted by the Fifty-first congress, as the culminating atrocity of class legislation; we indorse the efforts made by the democrats of the present congress to modify its most oppressive features in the direction of free raw mariala and cheaper manufactured goods that enter into general consumption; and we promise its repeal ns one of the beneficent results that will follow the action of the people in intrusting power to the democratic party. Since the McKinley tariff went into operation there have been ten reductions of the wages of laboring men to one increase. "We deny that there has been any increase cf prosperity to the country since that tariff went into operation, and we point to the dullness and distress, with wage reductions and strikes in the iron trade, as the best possible evidence that no such prosperity has resulted from the McKinley act. We call the attention of thoughtful Americans 'to the fact that after thirty years of restrictive taxes against the importation of foreign wealth in exchange fer our agricultural surplus, the homeg and farms of the country have become burdened with a real estate mortgage debt of over $2,500,000,000 exclusive of all other forms of indebtedness; that in one of the chief agricultural etates of the Weet there appears a real estate mortgage debt averaging $! per capita of the total population ; and that similar conditions and tendencies are shown to exist in the other agricultural exporting states. We denounce a policy which fos'ers no indaetry eo much ns it does that of the sheriff. Sec. 4. Trade interchange on the basis of reciprocal advantages to the countries participating is a time-honored doctrine of the democratic faith, but we denounce the bham reciprocity which juggles with tne people's desire for enlarged foreign markets and freer exchange by pretending to establish closer trade relations for a country whose articles of export are almost exclusively agricultural products with other countries that are also agricultura', while erecting a custom house barrier of prohibitive taritl taxes against the richest countries of the world that stand ready to take our entire surplus of products and to exchange therefor commodities which are necessaries and comforts of life among our own people. Sec. 5. We recognize in the trusts and combinations, which are designed to enable capital to secure more than it just share of the joint product of capital and labor, the natural consequence of the prohibitive taxes which prevent the free competition which is the life of honeet trade. But we believe their worst evils can be abated by law, and we demand the rigid enforcement of the laws made to prevent and control them, together with such further legislation in restraint of their abuses aa experience may show to be necessary. Sec. G. The republican party, while professing a policy of reserving the public land for Bmall holdings by actual settlers, has given away the people's heritage till now a few railroads and non-resident aliens, individual and corporate, possess a larger area than all of our farms between the two seas. The last democratic administration reversed the improvident and unwise policy of the republican party touching the public domain and reclaimed from corporations and syndicates, aiien and domestic, and restored to the people nearly 100.000,000 acres cf valuible land to be sacredly held a homeHteadu for our citizens, and we pledge oimielve to continue this policy until every acre nf land so uulawfuily be d ehail be reclaimed and restored to the people. Sec. 7. We denounce rha republican legislation known a the hernian act of IttW as a cviudly makeshift fraught with possibilities of danger in the future which ehou d make all oi ita aupportere, as well as its author, anxious for its speedy repeal. We .hold to the use of both gold and Bilver aa the standard money of the country and to the coinage of both gold aud silver without discriminating against either metal or charge for mintage, but the dollar unit of coinage of both metals must be of equal intrinsic and unchangeable value or be adjusted through international agreement or by such safeguards of legislation ns shall insure the maintenance of the parity of the two metals, and the equal power of every dollar at all times in the markets and in the payment of debts, and we demand that all paper currency shall be kept at par with and redeemable in euch coin. We insist upon this policy aa especiul y necess iry for the protection of the farmers and aboring clashes, the first and most defenceless victims of unstable money and a fluctuating currency. Sec. 8." We recommend that the prohibitory 10 per cent, tax on state bank issues be repealed. Sec. 9. Public office is a public trust. We reaffirm the declaration of the democratic national convention of 187U for the reform of the civil ervic and we call for the honest enforcement of ail laws regulating the tame. The nomination of a president, ns in the recent republican con-

I veution, by delegations composed largely

of his appointees, holding office at big pleasure, is a scanda ous satire upon tree popular institutions and a startling iliustration of the methods by which a president may gratify his ambition, We denounce a policy tinder which federal office) holders umrp control of partv conventions in the states, and we pi dge the democratic party to ;he reform of these and all other hIh's which threaten individual liberty And local self-government. S c. 10. The democratic party is th only party th.it has ev. r given tho country a foreign policy cons. stent and vigorous, compel ing respect abroad and inspiring confidence at home. While avoiding entangling alliances it has aimed to cultivate friendly relations with other nations, and especially with our neighbors on the American continent, whose destiny is closely linked with our own, and we view with alarm the tendency to a policy of irritation and bluster which is liable at any time to confront us with the alternative of humiliation or war. We favor the maintenance ot a navy strong enough for all purposes of national defense and to properly maintain the Nhonor and dignity of the country abroad. Sec. 11. This country has always been the refuge of the oppressed from every land exiles for conscience' Jsake and ia the spirit of the founders of our government, we condemn the oppression practiced by the Russian government upon ita Lutheran and Jewish subjects, and we call upon our national government, in the interest of justice and humanity, by all just and proper means to use ita prompt and best efforts to bring about a cessation of these cruel persecutions in the dominions of the czar, and to secure to the oppressed equal rights. We tender our profound and earnest sympathy to those lovers of freedom who are struggling for homerula. and the great cause of self-government i& Ireland. Sec. 12. We heartily approve all legitimate efforts to prevent the United States from being used as the dumping, ground for the known criminals and professional paupers of lJurope, and we de, niand the rigid enforcement of the lawt , against Chinese immigration or the im' portation of foreign workrren under contract to degrade A m erics. n labor and lessen its wages, but we condemn and denounce anv and all Rtt -inp'e to restrict the immigration of the industrious and worthy of foreign lande. Sec. IU. Tnis convention hereby renews its expression of appreciation of the patriotism of the soldiers and sailors of the union in the war lor its preservation. We favor just and liberal pensions for all disabled union soldiers, their widows and dependents; but we demand that the work of the pension office shall be done industriously, impartially and honestly. We denounce the present administration of", that office aa incompetent, corrupt andj dishonest. Sec. 14. The federal government should, care for and improve the Mississippi river and ether great waterways of the republic, bj aa to secure for the interior btates easyV and cheap transportation to the tidewatv!r. When any water-way of the repub ic is of sufficient importance to de-, mand the aid- of the government, that euch aid should he extended a definite plan of continuous work until permanent improvement id secured. Sec. 1-3. 'For the purposes of national defense and the promotion of commerce between the etates we recognize the early construction ; of the Nicaragua canal and its protection against foreign control ae of great importace to the United States. Sec. Irl. Recognizing the World's Columbian exposition as a national undertaking ot vast importance in which the general government has invited the cooperation of all the powers of the world, and appreciating the acceptance by many of such powers of the invitation extended and the broadest liberal efforts being made by them to contribute to the grandeur of the undertaking, we are of the opinion that congress should make such necessary Gnanciai provision as shall be required for the maintenance of the national honor and public faith. Sec. 17. Popular education being the only safe basnof popular suffrage we recommend to the several states most liberal appropriations for the public schools. Free common schools are the nursery of good government, and they have always received the fostering care of the democratic party, which favors every means of increasing intelligence. Free lorn of education being an essential of civil and religious liberty aa wed ns a necessity for the development of intelligence, must not be interfered with under any pretext whatever. We aro opposed to ttate interference with parental rights and rights of conscience in the education of children, aa an infringement of the fundamental democratic doctrine that the largest individual liberty consistent with the rights of others inures the highest type of American citizenship and the beet government. Sec. IS. We approve the action of the house of representatives in passing bills lor admission into the Union as states of the territories of New Mexico and Arizona, and we favor the admission of all the territories having the necessary population and resources to entitle them to statehood, and while they remain territo- ' ries we hold that the officials appointed to administer the government of any territory, together w ith the Pistrictof Columbia.' and Alaska, should ha bona fide residents of the territory or district in which their duties are to be performed. The democratic party believes in home rule and tha control of their own allairs by the people' of the vicinage. Sec. 10. We favor legislation by con greea and state legislation to protect tha' lives and limbs of railway employes and , those of other hazardous transportation companies, and denounce the inactivity ot the republican part', and particularly the republican senate, for causing the defeaV of measures beneficial and protectiii t thi.-i cluss oi wacre workers. Sec. i'0. W are in favor of the enactment by the slates of laws for abolishing the notorious sweating system, for abolishing contract Convict labor, and for pro liibiting the employment in raaaufactorie of children under lifteen years of age. Sec. "Jl. We arc opposed to all eumptni ary laws and interference with the indi vidual righrs of tho citizen. j Sec. -2. Upon this statement of princl, pleg and policies the democratic party ask. -j tho intelligent judgment of thel American people. Il asks a change of adi ministration and a change of party, in oi4 der that there may be a change of system and a change of methods, thus securing; the maintenance unimpaired of the ineti-; tutions under which the republic has grown great and powerful.
